Can I Stop BedBugs Myself?

Maybe. There are a few factors that go into whether you may be able to stop bedbugs yourself or not:

  1. How bad is the problem and how long has it been there? Typically, the longer a bedbug infestation has been there, the more bed bugs (and eggs) there are and the more places they may be hiding in.
  2. How old is the structure? In some cases, older structures may be more more difficult in which to get rid of bedbugs because there may be more hiding places.
  3. How big is the structure? The bigger the building, the harder it is to treat for bedbugs, or pretty much any sort of critter.
  4. Are you fairly handy? If the problem isn't out of control and the structure isn't too old and/or big, you may be able to take a shot at it yourself and save a lot of money.
